Changelog:

UPDATE : 21 MAY 2012

Affected addons:

* dayz_code 1.5.8

* dayz_equip 1.2.4

* dayz_sfx 1.1.2

* dayz 1.2.5

* dayz_weapons 1.1.2

Developer's Note:

* TO INTERACT WITH MOST ITEMS: YOU NOW NEED TO OPEN GEAR MENU (G) THEN RIGHT CLICK ON THE ITEM! SUCH AS BANDAGING AND EATING AND SHIT

* This is a pretty major update. I don't really know what affect the new sickness and temperature system will have on player behavior especially with antibiotics being so scarce.

* It is the genesis of an idea, so please remember this might cause havoc. You need to be careful.

* To light a fire, you need matches and wood in your inventory. Place more wood in the inventory of a fireplace to keep the fire going.

* A fire that does not have wood in it will go out when you try to light it.

* You can tell you have an infection, because your character will start coughing. The infection causes you to loose blood down to a minimum of 6000. This leaves you with reduced blood until you take antibiotics.

* [NEW] Server cleanup system replaced with a more agressive one

* [NEW] Inventory Interaction system (right-click on items in gear screen to bring up interactions)

* [NEW] Temperature System now implemented (effects are limited)

* [NEW] Chance of catching an infection the lower your temperature

* [NEW] Chance of catching an infection from already infected players

* [NEW] Water can be filled in ponds, all water pumps, wells, but not the sea

* [NEW] Forced disconnection saving for abort and alt+F4

* [NEW] Zombie's will investigate player deaths

* [NEW] Adrenaline rush from panicing causes greately increased hunger for a while

* [NEW] Bandaging Sound when bandaging yourself/someone

* [NEW] PROTIP: Use Global Chat/VOIP in populated areas

* [NEW] Fire requires wood to keep burning

* [NEW] Various Loot spawn balancing changes

* [FIXED] Should not be pellets for the Winny

* [FIXED] Whinny is way to powerful and quiet (mmmm your tears will be delicious)

* [FIXED] Helicopter loot despawning too fast

Thank you sir; please keep up the good work for this community. A lot depends on you and the rest of the DayZ team.

Thank you Sir. Rocket, your work is appreciated!

[paradox666 1]

Awesome! Nice work Rocket! I definitely can see me raging at you soon, I loved my winchester :D!

[pozo15 2]

Did the Zombie spawn rate get lowered a bit? I know it was in the changelog before, did you change your mind since then? Just curious if it's intentional or accidentally left out of the log.

[Bernardusaurus 2]

Whoo! Good work, man.

Terrible idea with the whole "infection" thing. I can see myself logging off servers when it starts to rain and such.

It's being updated, have some patience bro.

[Unkn0wn (DayZ) 2]

Sweet! Interesting to see how the infection mechanic works out, hopefully it doesn't cause everyone to just avoid nighttime servers, especially when it's raining.
